MINDFUL HORSE THERAPY

Horse Wisdom for the Soul believes that horses become our Partners in Healing by allowing us to experience the serenity of the present moment and providing for us mirrors of our own emotions, ways of communication, and challenges in relationships... Equine assisted mental health therapy and learning is a unique approach to personal health and growth involving the horse-human relationship. It promotes emotional and psychological exploration, enhanced relationships, mindfulness of the present, improved communication skills, and encourages insight and healing... Horses are flight animals and survive and thrive by keeping a wide view, staying aware of the big picture. Because they are preyed upon in nature they must have a highly developed ability to sense changes in the environment and in the stance and arousal level of other herd members. This gives horses an incredible ability to sense and respond to the slightest signal, change in behavior or emotion in humans.
